Starting the SACE What you need to know

What is the SACE?

 SACE stands for South Australian Certificate of Education  A qualification for preparation for further learning, work, and life  Recognised nationally and internationally What is the SACE?

By completing the SACE, students prepare for further learning, work, and life, by:  Building essential skills and knowledge  Making informed choices about future study and work, based on their strengths and interests  Gaining a certificate that gives them a head-start on their pathway beyond school. What is the SACE?

There are two ‘stages’ of the SACE:  Stage 1 is generally completed in Year 11  Stage 2 is generally completed in Year 12  This can vary between schools and students (e.g. many schools offer the Personal Learning Plan in Year 10) Stage 1 and Stage 2

How the SACE works

Throughout the SACE, students build five key capabilities:  Communication  Citizenship  Learning  Personal Development  Work (Please note: some subjects, such as the Research Project, have seven capabilities as elements of the Australian Curriculum are integrated into the SACE) Capabilities

 Each grade (from A to E) in each SACE subject has a ‘performance standard’, describing the quality of work that will receive that grade  A student’s SACE work is assessed against these standards  The standards are the same around the state  They help students understand the reasons behind their grades, and how to improve Learning through assessment

Flexible pathways  The SACE is flexible, and caters for learning both in and outside school  Students can combine study and part-time work, a traineeship or school-based apprenticeship  Students can receive credit for SACE subjects, vocational education and training, community learning, and university studies

Excellence The SACE assists students to:  develop capabilities needed for life and further learning in today’s world  gain high level VET qualifications for the workforce  gain entry into state, national and international universities

Universities entered by SACE students National Flinders University University of Adelaide University of South Australia Australian National University University of Melbourne University of Sydney International New York University University of Oxford Yale University National University of Singapore University of Cambridge Princeton University

SACE requirements

 Students need 200 credits to achieve the SACE  Most 10-credit subjects are studied over one semester and most 20-credit subjects are studied over two semesters  Students need to achieve a C grade or higher for Stage 1 requirements and a C- grade or higher for Stage 2 requirements

SACE Credits

Stage 1

 Subjects are graded from A to E  All tasks are assessed by teachers at the school  Assessment is externally checked in mathematics, English and the Personal Learning Plan Stage 1

The Personal Learning Plan  Stage 1 subject worth 10 credits (one semester)  At the start of the SACE – Year 10 or 11  Identify strengths and interests  Set personal and learning goals  Gain skills for future study and employment – planning, research  C grade or higher is needed

Helps students to:  Look at different career paths and options  Choose the right SACE subjects and study options for their future plans  Think about courses and activities outside school that will help them achieve their goals. The Personal Learning Plan

Stage 1 and/or Stage 2 requirements  Literacy and numeracy requirements must be met at Stage 1 or Stage 2  Literacy – from a range of English subjects or courses (20 credits)  Numeracy – from a range of mathematics subjects or courses (10 credits)  Students must achieve at least a C grade at Stage 1 or a C- grade at Stage 2

Additional choices  To complete the SACE, students can choose from a range of Stage 1 or Stage 2 subjects or courses (90 credits)  There is a broad curriculum, including more than 40 languages  Students must achieve a grade in these subjects or courses to gain the SACE

Other recognised courses

Recognised learning The SACE recognises learning both in and outside school, for example:  Vocational education and training courses (VET)  University and TAFE courses  Community learning (such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award or volunteer work).

Vocational education and training (VET)  If students prefer hands-on learning or work outside the classroom, they can earn SACE credits for a wide range of activities  Students can learn on-the-job skills while working towards both the SACE and a VET qualification  VET options are available at both Stage 1 and Stage 2 

Individual circumstances

Special Provisions  Special provisions are available if a student has an illness, disability, impairment, or experiences an unforeseen circumstance that impacts on their ability to participate in, or comply with the requirements of conditions of the assessment.  If a student applies for special provisions they need to provide a range of evidence to demonstrate the impact of their difficulty in the relevant assessments.  More information is on the SACE website under Students > Special ProvisionsSpecial Provisions

Students with a disability  The SACE Board offers modified subjects at Stage 1 and Stage 2 for students with identified intellectual disabilities  A student studying a modified subject will gain credits towards the SACE but not a grade for the subject; instead successful achievement is recorded as ‘Completed’  Any modified subjects a student has studied will be listed on their SACE certificate 

Interstate / overseas / adult students  The SACE Board will grant status for equivalent learning gained from appropriate qualifications, subjects, courses or learning experience  Information about meeting the requirements for interstate, adult and overseas students can be found on the SACE website under the Students sectionSACE website
